MANCHESTER. Oct. 26.-The Guardian says:
The market is generally tame, but trmness
prevails. Sellers make slight progress Buyers
do little fresh business The views of both re-
garding prices are more divergent. The full
engagement of production and the recent ad
vance IN COTTON give strength T. sellers. tx
port yarns are very firm Recent free buying,
including purchases for Japan and smaller
Eastern markets. strengthens the position OF
splnners. Home manufacturers were recently
liberal purchasers and left few of their wants
unprovided for. The cloth market is slow,
though there is no weakness. China staples are
very firm and are well sold. India shirtings are
less fully engaged, but the position OF manu-
features is strong. There are few inquiries for
jaconets and mulls Prices offered are below
current rates Best printers are firm. There is
moderate business and increased inquiry for
medium and co nmon printers. Heavy goods
are steady. and there Is moderate business.

Green Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Cotton contracts have not been unusually eX-
cited, and the market seemed at times to waver
somewhat; yet behind all, there was good buy
ing and the general course of prices was up
ward, with gain of eos points. The source of
the demand was not very clear, and indeed at
times has been a little mysterious, yet it stood
ready to exhaust the supply, and brought the
position To IA pretty steady close all along the
line at about top rates Of the day. Advices
from the South were as much as before, except
little shrnkage IN the movement at interior
points against last year. but reports from
abroad came in in good form. Altogether the
position was a little bulliSh, but some of the
trade are doubtful of its stability"

CHICAGO, Oct 26.-Ihe grain markets opened
easier to-day, but provisions were started
stronger and sold at higher prices. Trading in
wheat was fairly good during the earlier part
of the session, but later in the day the market
ruled quiet There was less business from the
the outside than on yesterday, but in general
way local operators were fully as bullsh as on
We terday, and there was a good deal of talk on
the part of longs about holding wheat for an
and upward range in prices. Receipts of wheat
at twelve primary points was $4,000 bushels
Corn was quite active and prices ruled stronger
Activity centred largely in November and Hay
deliveries, the former exhibiting the most
strength. Flrmpess was due mainly TO free
buying of November by a prominent local opera
tor this being the chief feature of to-day mar
xet. Receipts were a trihe under estimates, and
anticipated arrivals for tomorrow are quite
